Sen. Bernie Sanders is going to help mark the
opening of a solar power installation at a Vermont middle school.

He will visit the Camels Hump Middle
School in Richmond today. He describes the school as one of the greenest
public schools in the state.

The 16 kilowatt solar array installed by a Vermont company is expected to generate enough electricity to
cover about 25 percent of the school's annual energy use. Sanders helped secure
funding for the project.
